Amose 1 Ukwahlulelwa okuzayo

¹ Amazwi ka-Amose owayephakathi kwabelusi baseThekhowa awabona ngo-Israyeli emihleni ka-Uziya inkosi yakwaJuda nasemihleni kaJerobowamu indodana kaJowashi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli iminyaka emibili ngaphambi kokuzamazama komhlaba.

² Wathi: “UJehova uyakubhonga eseSiyoni, aphakamise izwi lakhe eJerusalema; amadlelo abelusi ayakulila, nesiqongo seKarmeli sibune.

³ Usho kanje uJehova; Eziphambekweni ezintathu zaseDamaseku nangezine angiyikukubuyisa isijeziso sayo; ngoba babhula iGileyadi ngezibhulo zensimbi.

⁴ Kodwa ngiyakuthuma umlilo endlini kaHasayeli, uqede izindlu zobukhosi zikaBeni Hadadi.

⁵ Ngiyakwaphula umgoqo waseDamaseku, nginqume abakhileyo ethafeni lase-Aveni nophethe intonga yobukhosi endlini yase-Edene; futhi abantu base-Aramu bayothunjelwa eKhiri,” kusho uJehova.

⁶ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Ngenxa yeziphambeko ezintathu zeGaza, nangenxa yezine, angiyikukubuyisa ukujeziswa kwalo; ngoba bathumba bonke abathunjwa ukuze babanikele kuEdoma.

⁷ Kodwa ngizathumela umlilo phezu komduli weGaza, ozaqeda izindlu zayo zamakhosi.

⁸ Ngiyakunquma owakhileyo e-Ashidodi nophethe intonga e-Ashikeloni, ngiphendulele isandla sami phezu kwe-Ekroni; insali yamaFilisti iyoshabalala, isho iNkosi uJehova.

⁹ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Ngenxa yeziphambeko ezintathu zeTire, ngenxa yezine, angiyikukubuyisa ukujeziswa kwalo; ngoba banikela bonke ekuthunjweni ku-Edomi futhi abazange bacabange ngesivumelwano sobuzalwane.

¹⁰ Kodwa ngizathumela umlilo phezu komduli weTire, ozaqeda izindlu zayo zamakhosi.

¹¹ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Ngenxa yeziphambeko ezintathu zakwa-Edomi, nangenxa yezine, angiyikuguquka; ngokuba waxosha umfowabo ngenkemba, walahla lonke uzwelo, nolaka lwakhe lwaludabukile njalo, futhi wagcina ulaka lwakhe kuze kube phakade.

¹² Kodwa ngizathumela umlilo eThemani, ozaqeda izigodlo zeBhozira.

¹³ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Ngenxa yeziphambeko ezintathu zabantwana bakwa-Amoni, nangenxa yezine, angiyikukubuyisa ukujeziswa kwabo; ngoba badwengula abesifazane abakhulelweyo bakwaGileyadi ukuze bandise umngcele wabo.

¹⁴ Kodwa ngizaphemba umlilo odongeni lweRaba, njalo uzaqeda izigodlo zalo, ngentokozo ngosuku lwempi, ngesivunguzane ngosuku lwesiphepho.

¹⁵ Inkosi yabo iyakuthunjwa, yona nezikhulu zayo kanyekanye,” usho uJehova.
